About the geometry of almost para-quaternionic manifolds

We provide a general criterion for the integrability of the almost para-quaternionic structure of an almost para-quaternionic manifold of dimension 4m8 in terms of the integrability of two or three sections of the defining rank three vector bundle . We relate it with the integrability of the canonical almost complex structure of the twistor space and with the integrability of the canonical almost para-complex structure of the reflector space of . We deduce that has plenty of locally defined, compatible, complex and para-complex structures, provided that is integrable.
